Chapter 8 Chapter 5 Contact

"Mr. Ye, my brothers are asking you, are you going to have game barbecue?" He hesitated for a while, and then reluctantly translated. My head was suddenly full of black lines, how come one or two of these guys are always thinking about eating!Shaking my head with laughter, I lowered my voice: "No one can arrange a real Mobius circle in this world, so the maze that can't get out is just a theoretical thing. If there is an entrance, there must be an exit. That exit is hidden, this place is where the entry is, and the exit must be nearby." In the darkness, a group of small black figures quickly ran across the snow, and soon came to the place where the wolf meat was placed.The decomposed wolf meat, the pieces of meat have long been frozen hard as iron by the extremely low temperature, and those little things are very hard to eat.

Not long after, there were occasional messy voices from the black figure, and it was the trap that had played a role.These unlucky things caused confusion among the other black figures around them, and they ran away biting pieces of meat one after another. "Rescue the trapped animals, hurry up, before they die." I ordered hastily. The bewildered Russians followed my orders very seriously, and soon all the animals in the eleven traps were taken down and brought to me.Looking at these shivering animals, they were even more confused. Kudryash and his brother stared at each other for a while, then looked at the eleven small animals, finally scratched their heads, and asked, "Mr. Ye, if I read correctly, Are these all squirrels?" "Yes, all squirrels!" I nodded.Upon close observation, these squirrels are completely different from those seen in pet stores. They are much larger and have a ferocious face, not cute at all.

"Why did you catch them?" he asked the key point. "It's up to them to get out of the woods." I smiled and looked at the squirrel who was so hungry that he lacked any sense of fear, and said slowly. "How is it possible!" The guy obviously didn't believe it. Li Mengyue also turned her head to the side with a strange face, and looked into the distance, as if she didn't quite agree with my words. I curled my lips and asked, "How many squirrels came just now?" "There is a group." Kudriash replied. "How many cats are there in a group?"

I asked again. "About fifty or sixty?" "That's right." I grabbed a squirrel and watched its bluff, "How many squirrels do you think this forest can support in the Siberian winter when food is scarce?" "Maybe, not many." He was a little unsure. "There must be very few, at least not a single squirrel can survive within a hundred trees, but I sprinkled wolf meat, but there are so many squirrels running to grab food, where do you think they come from?" I asked again . Kudriash still couldn't understand the meaning of these words, and thought about it for a long time.

"Which direction did those squirrels come from just now?" I sighed and continued to hint at him. This guy finally understood, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and let out an "ah" sound: "Over there." He pointed to the east. "Let's take a bet. Some squirrels may have come in from outside the maze of the Mobius circle. They have an amazing sense of smell, and the way of thinking and positioning ability of animals is completely different from that of humans. Maybe they can not be confused by the maze. Go out smoothly and return to the lair." I found thin ropes from the sled boat and tied the squirrels one by one, and then ordered the Russians to pull them one by one, following the squirrels like walking a dog.

As soon as the hungry, cold and frightened squirrels were let go, they ran quickly in the woods. The eleven squirrels quickly divided into eleven directions and spread out in all directions. I stood there slowly, looking at my GPS screen from time to time. Seeing that I was still indifferent, Kudryash who stayed with him couldn't help it, "Mr. Ye, can you find the exit of the maze like this? Didn't you do nothing?" "Don't worry, trust me Absolutely." I shrugged my shoulders and waited another five minutes or so before standing up and riding the sledge towards the southeast.

Li Mengyue followed me silently, staring at the GPS in my hand from time to time, thoughtfully. Kudryash also understood, "You have recorded everyone's GPS?" "Yes, my handheld GPS tracking distance is very far. Since this maze can invalidate the direction tool, it means , if someone suddenly disappears, the exit must be at the location where he disappeared, because he walked out of the maze, and the GPS in his hand also failed." I speeded up with a grin, and not long after, the disappearing area displayed on the screen arrived. The place was ordinary, like nothing else in the woods.The Siberian winds danced wildly at night, and the sparse snow began to fall at some point. I am afraid that a blizzard will form in a short time. The situation is deteriorating. Spending the night in an unsheltered place is completely challenging the limits of life.Fortunately, the exit should be within easy reach.

"Ready?" I asked, "We're going out." Kudriash hesitated, "But my brother is still inside." "I went out, this maze is useless, your organization will naturally release the rest of the people. Let's go." I ignored him, twisted the throttle of the sled, accelerated and rushed out. The light of the sled boat was not bright in the dark woods without any starlight. I rushed straight towards a tall cedar tree. I didn't dare to blink my eyes. If the tree really existed, it would definitely drive Destruction.This is betting, betting that your reasoning is correct.

Fortunately, my luck has never been bad, and I bet right again!When the car touched the tree, the body seemed to pass through a greasy film, everything in the sight became blurred, and it took a few seconds to become clear, and the surrounding environment changed completely. The world outside the maze was full of light, and the dazzling lights made me squint my eyes.I saw a group of people with live ammunition standing in two rows, showing a protective posture, and a middle-aged man with gray hair stood in the middle. This middle-aged man has a typical western face, with a polite look. "Mr. Night Silence, hello."

He came over and held out his hand to me, "Welcome to my temporary base." He actually spoke Mandarin with perfect pronunciation. I'm still a little confused by the change of gaze, not keeping up with his rhythm.But Li Mengyue behind her has already moved quickly, she slid lightly like a predator, her entire petite body blocked in front of me, separating me from that person. There was a trace of surprise on the man's face, but he hid it well.He naturally withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "After two days of traveling, are you tired on the road? The temporary base has hot water and food. Mr. Ye, take a good rest for the night and eat enough. We will talk about you tomorrow." About the disappearance of my cousin."

After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly, and ordered his subordinates to lead me the way, while he himself watched us leave. Until I entered the room, my head was still dizzy, as if I hadn't adjusted the jet lag.This kind of situation rarely happens to me. It seems that the maze will disturb the human brain, making people unable to adjust the time and space inside and outside the maze within a short period of time. Does this mean that the Mobius circle in the maze has the effect of disturbing time and space?Impossible, can human technology really do this kind of thing?Li Mengyue was sitting quietly in the room, seeing that I was gradually recovering from numbness, she said lightly: "That person is very strong. Be careful!" This sentence shocked me.In the mouth of the guardian girl, she has never positively commented on anyone who is strong. It seems that everyone is like a piece of paper to her. If she is not careful, she will be torn to pieces. He just curled his lips and said it was okay. "Stronger than you?" I asked cautiously. She tilted her head in thought for two seconds, then shook her head slightly. I immediately felt relieved, since I have the ability to subdue him, I will no longer consider whether this person is strong or not. Li Mengyue and I were placed in a not-so-small room, and because our heads were dizzy just now, we couldn't see the outside environment clearly.But the interior of the room is quite comfortable, with an air conditioner to adjust the indoor temperature to 23 degrees, which is most suitable for the human body. Compared with the cold wind outside, this place is simply heaven. In a space of about 30 square meters, there are large double beds, LCD TVs, dressing tables and other items that are very modern. The room is pasted with light yellow wallpaper, which is very warm. It can be seen that the person who arranged the room is a woman , and spent a lot of thought. I frowned, is this place really a so-called temporary base?Why does it look so much like a folk house, a love nest that the hostess has spent a lot of time and love arranging?I really couldn't figure this out, but fortunately I didn't think about it any more.Li Mengyue didn't look at the surrounding environment, went straight to the only bed in the room, and sat down along the edge of the bed. "There is no pinhole lens." I checked around for a while, and then took out the old man’s necessary tools for the detective agency to detect and monitor equipment. Unexpectedly, the organization did not bury surveillance and bugs in the room. This kind of upright behavior made me feel very uncomfortable. Maybe, human beings are very cheap, and when others treat each other with dignity and courtesy, it will only increase suspicion!Forget it, let's take one step at a time, in short, we have already entered the territory of that mysterious organization. "One bed, only." The expression on Li Mengyue's face has not changed for thousands of years, but there is still a faint weird smile at the corner of her mouth, which seems to mean something. "What do you want!" I subconsciously made an evasive movement. She shook her head slightly, lay on the bed sideways, and shrank into the bed to make room for me, "It's late, sleep. Good night." Seeing her actions, I was relieved.I think she is also afraid of other monitoring methods, otherwise she would have used some of the things taught by the old woman Lin Zhiyan, and I am still very concerned about her box full of "reverse reasoning must be" that I saw a few days ago. spare parts." Damn, what kind of time, place and situation should the so-called "reversal essentials" be used for?It was frightening and confusing. Throughout the night, he struggled with entanglement and speculation about the mysterious organization, and worried about his little cousin Yefeng, and finally waited until dawn. When the burning clouds in the eastern sky dyed the forest red, I jumped out of bed, rubbed my eyes, and looked out the window.The morning glow was beautiful, but the sunshine did not bring any warmth to this barren and frozen world. It was dark last night and I couldn’t see it clearly. At this time, I took advantage of the rising sun to look at the buildings outside, and found that the buildings outside were very simple, typical Siberian style, wooden, white-painted pointed houses, and a few buildings were scattered here and there. In the distance is a messy meadow, the scorched grass has been trampled badly, it seems that even if spring comes, the chance of survival is worth worrying about. Sure enough, it is a very ordinary residential house. I am afraid that it was used as a simple dairy farm in the past. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Mr. Silent Night." It was Kudriash's voice, "Sir, please come over." "Okay, give me a minute, I'll wash my face!" I rushed to the bathroom attached to the bedroom and turned on the faucet.Sprinkling ice-cold water on his face, the biting cold stimulated his brain to wake up a lot. Back in the bedroom, Li Mengyue was already awake. In fact, I always suspected that she hadn't fallen asleep at all.The most amazing thing about this girl is that I have never seen her wash her face, but her face has always maintained a flawless whiteness, as bright as jade, but so soft that it can be broken. How on earth did she do it?Are you secretly using some kind of secret skin care products from your hometown?Confusing!After going out, Kudriash led the two of us out of the house. As soon as the door was pushed open, the cold wind blew over, almost freezing to the point of freezing.I looked around and found that it was indeed an ordinary dwelling. The empty pasture was empty, and the cedars in the distance kept shaking in the wind. The snow had stopped, and the field of vision was completely white. Although it seems to be undefended, I can tell that many places are concealed with infrared monitoring equipment buried in many places. The density is so high that even a mosquito flying in can be clearly caught. He took the two of us into an ordinary wooden hut on the west side of the dairy farm and stopped. He knocked on the door lightly, and someone inside responded immediately: "Please come in." Kudryash opened the door respectfully, nodded at both of us, "Go in." Li Mengyue and I looked at each other, her eyes were full of vigilance.After hesitating for a second, I walked in the door first. It was warm inside, not from the air conditioner but from the stove.A wood-fueled flame was burning vigorously in the fireplace, and there was a fragrance of wood throughout the room. The middle-aged man I saw last night was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. He had a peaceful but polite smile on his face, which made people feel at home. He welcomed the two of us to sit on the opposite sofa, and then asked in Chinese: "Drink tea? Haven't had breakfast yet, how about having it with me!" "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." I nod. Superficial politeness is still needed, although I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd, but the current situation is a game, both sides have their own needs, otherwise he wouldn't send people all the way to invite me. From the contact considerations in the past few days, the scale of the mysterious organization can be seen slightly.No matter how elite my cousin Yefeng is, this organization can still abandon him. They don't want to deliberately contact me who is from outside, who doesn't know the situation and the degree of danger, just for him. In other words, their organization became interested in me for some reason, thinking that I could achieve their goal, and saving Yefeng was not the goal, it was just an excuse. This game is to see who is more anxious and impatient first!Obviously, both of us have good patience, and the guardian girl is even more serious, sitting beside me like a rock. The middle-aged man poured a cup of tea for each of us and placed them on the coffee table opposite.I picked it up unhurriedly and took a sip, admiringly said: "It has a strong taste, and the style is quite unique. Is it a special verbena tea?" .” He narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled. "I also know that this special tea is only liked by a certain group of people in a country." I looked up and looked at him, "Are you French? This smell is something that older French people are obsessed with. You don't look old, and you don't know how old you are mentally!" The taste is a bit heavy, and it also has a tentative meaning.He has always pretended to be polite, but he hasn't mentioned his name at all from yesterday to today. This is not a good omen, and it probably means that his attitude towards me and the guardian girl is still quite ambiguous. Hearing this, the middle-aged man suddenly patted his forehead. "Ah, look at me, I have met twice and I forgot to introduce myself. I am really sorry. My name is El? Duras, just call me Duras." The corner of my mouth twitched, and I knew the name was fake as soon as I heard it, it was too obvious.El?Duras's first and last names were elected as the third most common surname and the first most common surname in France in the European Times last year. Seeing my half-smile expression, Mr. Duras accurately guessed what I was thinking, and he waved his hands exaggeratedly, "My real name, everyone calls me Duras." "Very well, M. Duras. Tea, too." I picked up a biscuit on the tea table with my fingers and stuffed it into my mouth, "I have breakfast now, let's talk about my cousin Yefeng!" "Don't worry, I am very interested in Chinese characters and language. " He shook his head with a smile, "By the way, the name cousin, in China, refers to the child born to your mother's relatives? Why does he have the same surname as you?" It's not suitable for me and my cousin." I shrugged my shoulders, unwilling to explain further, "Yefeng is a relative of the Ye family, and has nothing to do with my mother. It's just that I misunderstood something when I was young, so I became the cousin of my cousin now." Barking, as I get older, I can't change it now!" (There is indeed a long and long story about the random names between me and Yefeng, but that story is as long as it is, and it is quite tortuous Bizarre, I will choose the time to describe it in the future, so I won’t waste words here.) "That's it." He didn't ask much, and took a sip of verbena tea from his cup. I was just about to continue to knock around quietly, when suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Duras frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" A nervous answer came from outside the door: "Sir, we found Volunteer 021." He shook his hands and stood up excitedly, "Where is it?" "In the storage tank!" "The storage tank?" Duras' voice was very surprised. After a moment of silence, his face showed a complicated look. look, "Take me to see." After walking a few steps forward, he glanced at the two of us slightly, and finally seemed to have made a decision: "Mr. Yebuyu, if you are interested, go along too. See for yourself, and I will be able to get along with you in the future." You explain what happened to the Yefeng team." I nodded and took Li Mengyue out of the room with him.Standing outside the door was a middle-aged man wearing a thick down jacket, with a reserved face, he could tell he was a secretary. He led the three of us to the front of the warehouse, which was surrounded by armed men with live ammunition.After Duras passed by, the soldiers respectfully stepped aside and watched him go up to the roof of the warehouse. This warehouse was supposed to be used to store hay, so it was built very large. The cistern on the roof is filled with domestic water for the entire pasture. Since Siberia is sparsely populated, it is impossible to spread the water pipes, and because of the climate, the water pipes are prone to serious aging, so every household far away from villages and towns installs them. This kind of facility uses electric steel pipe wells buried more than 20 meters underground to pump water up and store it in the reservoir. Every faucet in the ranch is eventually connected to the reservoir. A large hole has been dug out of the top of the originally sealed reservoir, and five people dressed as researchers are busy fishing for something inside. "The situation?" Duras asked the secretary beside him, speaking in English. "very bad." The secretary glanced at me and the guardian girl, hesitated to speak. "Tell me in detail." Dora ordered. "Yes, sir." The secretary lowered his head and flipped through the notepad, "Just fifteen minutes ago, brother No. 0137 turned on the tap to take a bath. Unexpectedly, a strong smell of blood gushed out of the water pipe, so he hurriedly reported it." "The research team took a blood sample from the water pipe, and quickly judged that the DNA in the blood was 98% consistent with volunteer No. 021, confirming that the blood came from volunteer No. 021!" "No. 021, in a Missed half a month ago?" Duras asked. "Yes, sir." The secretary replied. "And the others? Alive, or dead?" "In the cistern, sir." Duras walked over, looked into the cistern, and immediately frowned. I also followed, climbed onto the tripod and looked down. Before I could see clearly, a stench rushed over. The unpleasant smell was almost suffocating. I, who have experienced strong winds and waves, couldn't help but my stomach churns. I saw pieces of meat floating on the surface of the water in the reservoir, most of the water had been dyed dark red, and strands of blue substances were mixed in the blood, it was impossible to tell if it was mold or other things, but The so-called Volunteer No. 021 has long been divided into such minced meat, cut evenly, as if filtered by a fishing net, each piece of meat is only the size of the mesh. Human beings are broken into such tiny pieces that they are unrecognizable like the corpses of cats and dogs.If it weren't for the fact that I heard that there was a DNA test to confirm the identity, I would not believe that the source of the countless pieces of meat floating in the water was human body. "The result of the DNA is 98% similarity? Why is it so inaccurate?" Duras looked back, he seemed indifferent to the death under his step, but cared more about the data accuracy. "The research department believes that 2% of the DNA cannot be identified, and it does not belong to humans, nor does it belong to any DNA structure known to humans." The secretary looked worried. He sighed: "I'll go to the research department to inquire in person later, you can send Mr. Ye back to the room first." After Duras finished speaking, he looked at me apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have some chores to deal with, please go back to your room and wait for a while, I will come and explain to you about the Yefeng team in person in an hour and a half." I didn't speak, trying to suppress the desire to vomit in my stomach. "Mr. Night Silence, please." The secretary made a "please" gesture and sent us back to the room. After watching us enter the door, he found a few fighters with submachine guns to guard the door, and then left in a hurry. I sat in the bedroom, looked at Li Mengyue who was expressionless, and smiled wryly. The word "volunteer" is very delicate. It is estimated that the nature of cousin Yefeng is the same as that of No. 021, but I just hope that the end will not be the same. Alas, things seem to have become more complicated. I originally thought that with my cousin's wisdom and skills, I should be able to handle any difficult situation. The purpose of my coming here is just to add a layer of insurance. But after witnessing the disgusting appearance of No. 021's death, he faintly felt that there was a kind of force majeure in his cousin's disappearance.Duras should also be considering whether he should tell me the truth. Their organizational structure should be quite complicated, and many things cannot be decided by him alone. But I, even Yang Junfei's detective agency, have never come into contact with such a huge organization, which is really incredible. An hour and a half later, when Duras came over, the discussion they organized with me should have had results.No amount of guessing is of any use, let's just wait quietly. Time passed by with the clock on the opposite side, and I saw the soldiers guarding the door cursing through the window, and some even showed nervous emotions.It is probably because the death of No. 021 has spread, and they are also inexplicably afraid. From this point of view, it is not without purpose that the temporary base of the organization was established here. Perhaps the disappearance of the cousin and the death of the No. 021 volunteer were all because of this seemingly ordinary Siberian building. The number of the dead volunteer was 021, which means that he already had 20 volunteers before. What is the number of his cousin?The wind was still blowing bitterly, I was bored, an hour and a half seemed as long as a century.Finally, when the hour and minute hands of the clock pointed to 9:45, there was finally a knock on the door...
